LS6 cam..what else should i do
I done my friends 2002 Z28 6 speed car and we went off of what everyone told us and put 7.45 pushrods in and it ran fine but then we just went ahead and swapped them out with 7.40 and the car ran faster at the track and performed better all around but his was a bolt on with Kooks headers off road y pipe, Borla exhaust, 3.73 gears, underdrive ASP Pulley, stock LS6 intake, MTI throttle body about all bolt ons, with the stock non removed 241 LS1 heads w/ comp cams 918 springs stock retainers. I would run the the 7.40 because loose is fast in my opinion. Hope it works out for you.
7.400 IS too short.
On an unmilled head, with an 02+ LS6 cam, 7.400" is too short. Plenty of people use them because they don't want to buy pushrods but that still does not make them the correct length and the geometry will not be correct. It's not right to tell someone that something is fine just because you have seen it work when it disagrees with proper measurements and tolerances. It's important to measure for and use the proper length pushrods in any application.
I'm not going to sit in this thread and argue by any means, so I leave you with the information that 7.400 is not the appropriate length for an 02+ LS6 cam. For an 01 LS6 cam, 7.400 is appropriate because the valves were not sodium filled/hollow stem with longer stems so the cam's base circle is standard with all other LS series cams.
